The PX-S1100/PX-S3100 is a MIDI-compatible instrument designed by CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. It functions as a comprehensive MIDI device, integrating a System Section, Performance Controller Section, and Sound Generator Section, each capable of sending and receiving specific MIDI messages according to its role.

Function Description:

The instrument's architecture is divided into three main sections:

  • System Section: Manages the overall instrument status and user data, ensuring smooth operation and configuration.
  • Performance Controller Section: Handles keyboard input and other controller operations, generating performance messages. These messages are typically sent to external destinations and simultaneously transmitted to the Sound Generator Section. The channel number for sent channel messages aligns with the instrument's MIDI settings, detailed in the User's Guide.
  • Sound Generator Section: Primarily responsible for receiving performance and sound source setting information. It comprises a common part, independent of specific channels, and a musical instrument part, which is channel-independent.
    • Sound Generator Common Block: This block includes system effects and master control functions, which can be managed via effect functions or general universal system exclusive messages.
    • Instrument Part Block: Divided into A, B, and C groups, each containing 16 parts, for a total of 48 parts. Settings for each part can be modified using channel messages. Notably, only the C group can be controlled by external channel messages.

The instrument supports various MIDI messages, including Channel Messages and System Messages, allowing for extensive control and integration within a MIDI setup.
